I. Love. This. Dress. It is from Saja's new bridal collection. Floaty, light, not white, & not too sparkley. I want to take a twirl in it now. Then I would like to sit at the table where this perfect vintage bird vase by Saipua filled with rananuclus, anenomes, & Queens Anne's lace is the centerpiece & admire its prettiness.

I plan on having some sort of bird-cage veil, but between the veil in my previous post & these two veils...it makes me long for something whispy & flowy. That & good gust of wind on my wedding day. Veil happy, hair not so much.

Truth be told, I am having a hard time imagining myself in a long, white gown.* I have looked at a few gowns, but no serious research. I had these two images stashed away in the inspiration folder & they make me excited about finding a gown...so I can then find a cute, bright cardigan to wear over it.
As a girl who is perpetually wearing a sweater/scarf/blanket trying to plan for a potential fall wedding, a cardigan is going to be key. I like the idea of adding color to the whole white {or as I have decided in my own cause, ivory} ensemble that does not require a sash or color on the actual dress. Plus, the cardigan makes the long dress a bit more casual...something I am certainly aiming for.
*I mean this literally, not as in "I am having a hard time imagining myself standing next to the love of my life, vowing to spend the rest of our life together." Please. That is the easiest part.
I love this photo I saw in Rhode Island Monthly's Bride for so many reasons.
1. Hello baby goat! May I take you home please?
2. The photo was taken at Mount Hope Farm in Bristol, RI. A farm right on the ocean. It is on our list.
3. The ivory silk lace-top gown with sash & cap sleeves, by Paloma Blanca, is gorgeous. I am not a huge cap sleeve fan, but I could get over it because I do not want a strapless dress. Every dress is strapless & I have never worn one. Ever. So I am not going to start now.
Okay. Back to wishing I had une petite chèvre!
